More of your word games??

"Under those 1994 accords, Washington agreed to stop allowing Cubans caught at sea to enter the U.S. In 1995 the U.S. government began its "wet-foot, dry-foot" policy that allows anyone who makes it to shore to stay, while those caught at sea are turned back."

----------

If they make it to FL, they can stay. End of story.

What's so different about Cubans?? Why aren't Mexicans allowed the same status?? They make it into the USA.

America's immigration policies have always been racist and ethnic.

For many years, we resisted allowing those from Eastern or Southern Europe to come here, but allowed northern Europeans to come here at will.

<quoted text>The stimulus did nothing that was promised except increase the deficit.Obamacare will do nothing that was promised except make health care more inaccessible and cost the taxpayers money.You need to stop listening to propagandists. That's the problem, Homer. Not me or Fox News.Anytime any media source is behind those in power - it's time to raise red flags. Put the white one away.

Aren't you the nitwit who claims to do research?? What happened??

"Why Obama should run on the success of the stimulusEverything you think you know about it is wrong: stimulus saved the US economy, and only Republicans stopped it working better.

"Over the next week, as Republicans gather for their national convention in Tampa, Florida, we can rest assured that the Obama epithet game will be in full effect. He's a tax-and-spender; he's an inveterate expander of federal power; he's weakened America in the world; he was born in Kenya and might be a Muslim (well, you'll only hear that if Republicans pull an Akin). What they likely won't hear is the truth about why the US economy remains in mediocre shape, and who is to blame for this distressing situation.

For that, most Americans would be wise to simply turn off the TV and pick up a copy of Michael Grunwald's exceptional new book, The New New Deal: The Hidden Story of Change in the Obama Era. Grunwald, a correspondent for Time magazine, has written what is likely the single best book to date on the inner workings of the Obama presidency and the $800bn stimulus measure (or American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) that Grunwald persuasively argues is Obama's greatest political achievement.

That conclusion may seem odd to the casual observer of US politics. In the more than three years since it passed, the stimulus has been tagged as a boondoggle that exploded the debt and did precious little to turn around the country's economic malaise. It is derided en masse by Republicans and largely ignored by Democrats.

But, in exhaustive detail, Grunwald points out how everything you think you know about the stimulus is wrong. While the Recovery Act created 2.5 million jobs, stopped the country's economic hemorrhaging and launched a weak recovery, its long-term, transformative impact is the real story.

According to Grunwald, the stimulus measure was "the biggest and most transformative energy bill in history", and "the biggest and most transformative education reform bill since the Great Society". It was also a "transformative healthcare bill", the "biggest foray into industrial policy since FDR", the "biggest expansion of antipoverty initiatives since Lyndon Johnson", and – ironically, for a president oft-accused of raising taxes – the "biggest middle-class tax cut since Reagan". It rebuilt bridges and paved roads; weatherized and retrofitted homes; and spurred the move toward high-speed rail."

<quoted text>Again you prove your stupidity.Galt's argument is that the border security will save money, not the immigration bill.But border security is an expense, not income. There is no money to be made, it's just PORK for Repugnant States like AZ and yours.CBO proves allowing immigration to go forward will shave close to $200 BILLION from the deficit over 10 years.It would save even more if you nitwits weren't loading the bill with Repugnant PORK.Thanks for being the stupidhead you are!!Funny how the people you call illegals were living in the southwest long before white men came into the area.----------Increase federal direct spending by $262 billion over the 2014–2023 period.Increase federal revenues by $459 billion over the 2014–2023 period.Decrease federal budget deficits through the changes in direct spending and revenues just discussed by $197 billion over the 2014–2023 period.Read more: CBO Outlines Costs and Savings of Immigration Bill S. 744 - 24/7 Wall St. http://247wallst.com/2013/06/18/cbo-outlines-...

Who said border security is income? When you have to make things up to prove your point, you have no point.

What really appeals to nutcases like Snowden is publicity. IMO, if he is returned to the United States and becomes a party to a sensationalized trial, the publicity seeking lunatic fringe will be more inclined to follow in his footsteps. If no one cares about him and he is banished from the United States as a hated traitor, they may think twice.

<quoted text> A younger, more enterprising work force moving to livable cities also are holding off marrying and having children of their own and instead choosing adoption which lowers the population rate in urban areas.

So the genetically deficient multiply like rabbits and the enterprising adopt.

<quoted text>True believer environmentalists are so convinced about man-made global warming that they are willing to go along with absolutely certain environmental destruction that they would have previously opposed with all their resources.

Didn't Sun Worshipers of Olde sacrifice children and virgins to the Sun God?

<quoted text>What are you babbling about now? We are discussing Republican solution(s) for providing jobs and opportunity for inner city/poor people.

You'd think the Democrats who've been running the show in the inner cities since forever would have figured that out by now.

As Galt pointed out, blacks in Chicago, Detroit and New York are moving back to the southern states as the focus in the south for many years with the influx of northerners, the liquidation of the southern democrat bloc and the 'great migration' of blacks has been opportunities and a strong middle class.

This is where they are finding the opportunities. As Bob Dylan wrote, "the first one now will later be last, the present now will later be past...the order is rapidly changing."

<quoted text>I'd rather have a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau acting to protect my own best interests by safeguarding my personal credit information than Big Banksters using M.E.R.S. to confiscate my mortgage and financial records in order to defraud me of my private property. "In the previous two parts of this series I have recounted the multiple frauds perpetrated by MERS: it defrauded counties out of billions of dollars of reporting fees, it defrauded homeowners by destroying documents that provide a clear chain of title -- facilitating its foreclosure frauds, and it defrauded securities investors by failing to adhere to PSAs (pooling and servicing agreements)-- making their securities invalid. Now, in order to cover the trail of deceit MERS and the banks are stealing homes as fast as they can in the hope that no one will notice the fraud. Meanwhile, they are destroying real estate values and adding to the headwinds that are pushing our economy into the first great depression of the 21st century.

And the results? High unemployment with more to come with the scourge of Obamacare approaching like a Dust Bowl Storm on the dark horizon.

He clearly said if 'they make it here.' If they do they are not deported.

The United States gives migrants from Cuba special treatment that no other group of refugees or immigrants receives.

It begins with the so-called “wet-foot, dry-foot policy” that puts Cubans who reach U.S. soil on a fast track to permanent residency. The government initiated the policy in 1995 as an amendment to the1966 Cuban Adjustment Act that Congress passed when Cold War tensions ran high between the U.S. and the island nation.

Under the amendment, when a Cuban migrant is apprehended in the water between the two countries, he is considered to have “wet feet” and is sent back home. A Cuban who makes it to the U.S. shore, however, can “dry feet” and can qualify for legal permanent resident status and U.S. citizenship.

"Four feet becomes extremely difficult to live in South Florida and five feet probably impossible."Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/story/2007/11/07/scien...----------And that FOX report is 6 years old. It's gotten worse since then."Broward County Plans Ahead For South Florida Rising Sea Levels"" The Broward County Commission began preparing for rising sea levels Tuesday by enacting a climate change plan, the Sun Sentinel reports.To the dismay of developers, the plan would impact future building plans, energy use, and green living to prepare for what scientists widely believe to be rising sea levels. By 2060, the commission said, residents in coastal communities could be swimming at their door steps.The commission hopes to avoid future problems like flooding, sewer failure and contaminated drinking water by implementing the blueprint now.Miami-Dade County would also be heavily impacted by rising sea levels. Scientists believe that by 2030, oceans could be up to 7 inches higher, according to the Southeast Florida Climate Change Compact. By 2030, this could be up to 2 feet. The projections were calculated by utilizing Key West’s tidal data from 1913 to 1999."----------Of course, you're free to be the moron you've always been, denying reality and modernity.

The climate is always changing - has for millions of years - 100% of us agree on that.

But the climate was changing and fluctuating long before CO2 became part of the equation. And why an overwhelming number of scientists poo-poo the Al "rich as Romney now " Gore malarkey.

<quoted text>Sorry JG Front Porch is right on this one. They took an empty husk of a building and a huge abandoned area and it's basically thriving now. Homer had dinner at one or Emeril's restaurants there.

That's one development.

What about the larger A-B-E area, a distribution point for the New York drug trade and cheap housing for NYC welfare refugees?

Hope you have a great rest of the day.

The Democrats fight too and nail for them and the Republicans fight tooth and nail against to nothing ever changes.

I am suggesting there is a great opportunity for the Republicans to step in and they have no desire whatsoever.

The Star Witness in the Zimmerman trail ’ Jeantel’ is the Bi- product of Jesses Jackson/Al Sharpton and the Democratic party, not only did the Democrats / Education System fail this individual but what’s really scary she Votes!!
